Im Only Human

Dreams and Flashbacks

Mac's POV

When I wake up all I feel is pain. I try to sit up but it hurts too much. I look to the left side of the bed and Niall is lying there. Asleep. In my bed. With me.

His face is bruised and his lip is busted. I reach over and wake him up. I wince in pain while shaking him awake. He jolts up with wide eyes. At least I didn't have to slap him this time.

He looks at me and grabs me in a hug. I scream and he backs away.

"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. You wouldn't even be hurt right now if it wasn't for me. I am so sorry. God, you must hate me for-"

"Shut up!" I yell at him. My head is throbbing and my whole body is sore. I look down at my clothes. I'm in my underwear and a t-shirt. I look at Niall. He's not wearing a shirt.

"I this yours?" I tug at the shirt. He nods. "Did you dress me in this?" he shakes his head. "What the fuck happened last night?"

"You don't remember?" he looks at me with sad eyes. I shake my head. "You don't remember anything?"

"I remember telling you to leave and then I went to Jack's house and then-" I cover my mouth with my hands. Oh my god.

The tears instantly come and then he's holding me. That just makes me cry harder. I want him away from me. He's no good at all. But I find myself pulling him closer to me. He's all I have right now and I'm not willing to give it up just yet.

He cries too. We sit there sobbing into each other's arms until we both fall asleep.

"Your mine now."

His eyes burn into mine. I'm paralyzed and can't move. He has control over me.

"I'm giving you what you always wanted. Why are you crying? Don't you still love me?" he smiles wickedly.

I back in the bathroom. Then Jack's on me. I move from the floor, to Niall's car, then finally to my bed.

Two things follow me everywhere.

"Your mine."

"I love you."

Damon.

Niall.

Niall stands over me. "I can't help you. You're a lost cause. I tried but you won't let me in. I give up. I'm done."

He turns to leave but Jackson grabs him and takes him away. He's gone.

Damon and Jack are standing over me. "You're ours now."

I'm in the bathroom again. Almost about to get raped by a stranger when Jack pulls me out. I think he's saved me. But what he does is worse. There is no almost. He finished what Damon started. Niall was too late. I shut my eyes and when I open them I'm alone. Alone with Niall. Who is being tortured before my eyes. I scream. Hoping to wake myself up from this twisted nightmare. Praying that Niall isn't gone.

Niall's POV

"NIALL!" I jolt out of the bed and look down at her. She's curled up in her bed screaming.

"NIALL! STOP! STOP!" She's crying. "NIALL!"

I shake her awake. Her eyes pop open and her arms are around me within seconds.

She's shaking. I pull her away and look her in the face. She looks back at me and kisses me. On the cheek.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." She whispers,"Next time I tell you to leave. Don't. Don't ever leave me. Promise?"

"I promise." She hugs me and nestles her face in my neck.

I can only imagine how she's feeling.

*FLASHBACK*

I run to Jackson and pull him off her. I start swinging not caring what I hit. This time he doesn't get a punch in.

"Louis. Take her to my car. Then leave." Lou grabs her and wraps her and wraps her in a blanket. She whimpers and calls out my name before she becomes unconscious.

I've never met a man that would do that to a woman. Now I have. And it feels pretty good being the one who gets to kick his fucking ass.

Even if I didn't have feelings for Mckenzie I would still do it. But since I do, the beating is a hundred times worse.

When I stop hitting him you can't make out what used to be his face. His face is swollen and bloody and I'm pretty sure I broke his nose.

I stand up and kick him in the ribs. My work here is done.

"Leave her the fuck alone. If you come around her again, not only will I put in the hospital, I will put you into a coma. Got it?"

He rolls over and nods. With that I leave.

I get into the car and drive to her apartment. Lou and Zayn must've already called Beth and Nat. Texts from them blow up my phone.

I get to the apartment and am bombarded with questions. "Shut the fuck up and let me put her to bed." Nat follows me to clean her up and dress her. I head to the bathroom and check the damage that's been done. My face is bruised up and my lip busted but that's all. He looked much worse. I go back into the room. I take off my sweater.

"Give me your shirt." Nat says. I give her a quizzical look. "Give me the damn shirt. Her clothes are shredded and I don't feel like digging through her stuff right now to find a shirt. So give me yours."

I hand it to her. Mckenzie is dressed in her underwear and my shirt. Shit. I look at Nat and she smiles. "Stay with her until she wakes up." I nod.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

Don't ever leave me.

Her words echo in my head. That will be the last thing I do.
